Biography
Kornélia Nemcová is a Slovak-born composer and musician based in London, UK. Her work spans across multiple genres and media but is primarily focused on acoustic and electro-acoustic music and sound design, rooted in a contemporary classical background. She composed for various classical and contemporary ensembles, such as the trio Terra Invisus, vocal group The Ruffians, Trinity Laban String Ensemble, Trinity Laban Symphony Orchestra and members of the ZOE Chamber Orchestra.
Amongst her current projects is a participation in the Film Composers Lab scheme with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and in the 2025 cohort of Emerging Professional Artists with the National Youth Choir of Great Britain.
She is a composition graduate from Trinity Laban, holding a BMus (Hons) First-Class.

She studied with Stephen Montague, Deirdre Gribbin and Edward Jessen.
Her work, ‘A Woman’s War’, centred around displaced Ukrainian women who fled their country after the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, created with a digital visual artist Natália Štojková, was awarded Trinity Laban Innovation Award 2024 after its premiere in Blackheath Halls, London. The digital version of this cross-disciplinary project was displayed in various venues, such as the Outernet Global London, the London Breeze Film Festival and the Internationales Digitalkunst Festival in Stuttgart.
